Ever wanted to do apt install rstudio rstudio-server ? Me too.
Ever wanted to just apt update; apt upgrade and get updated RStudio
binaries? Me too.
The scripts to do this had been included in the littler
package (for r) for many years (or months
in the case of the quarto package). What was
missing was putting three lines to together to make it a repo that apt can
access: a PPA so to speak.
Having set up a few other ones here (and of course on Launchpad where this cannot run as it accesses remote URLs) it became clear that this was a good idea. But with the 100mb file limit at GitHub we cannot host such a repo here. Cue a sad trombone.
So I am doing it at my own server for my own use. And make the scripts
available here. Just create a subdirectory you serve for apt over http and
call runMe.sh from it.
